The anime television series was directed by Jin Tamamura and Yūichi Abe and written by Shogo Yasukawa, based on a concept by Kotaro Uchikoshi.

Character designs were provided by Masakazu Katsura and Hiroyuki Asada, who also served as the series' concept artist.

[3] The game shared the same writer, character designer, concept artist, composer, and main theme songwriter as the anime.

Nick Creamer was impressed by the script's "grace of dialogue and characterization" during the introduction of Asuka and her friends, and the Land of the Lustrous-esque fight choreography but felt the story was "mostly just functional", saying it "demonstrates promise in a variety of ways."

Theron Martin gave praise to the "mostly solid" technical merits and was intrigued by the multiple dimensions concept and meeting alternate versions of Asuka but was critical of her ensemble being made up of "standard girl-group personality archetypes", concluding with: "Basically, this isn't a knock-your-socks-off kind of debut, but it's just good and intriguing enough to merit a mild recommendation."

Paul Jensen commended the conversation between both Asukas towards the end but was conflicted over the ensemble cast and its supposed camaraderie with each other and the alternate world visuals having a vibrant color palette but a poor CG action scene, concluding that: "As it stands, this episode is just intriguing enough to merit sticking around for a week or two, if only to find out what the heck is going on."

Rebecca Silverman criticized the tryhard attempts at being "interesting and quirky" with its ideas feeling unnatural and the female cast having sparse characterizations but gave praise to "the contrasts between the two Asukas" and the missing little brother mystery.

[11] He felt the story had a "fairly standard plot construction" and was "heavy-handed" with its subject matter throughout the various world designs but gave it praise for allowing the cast to have "decent character growth" as the series progressed, solid artistic efforts in the other worlds and its use of CG and Tomoyo Kurosawa's performance as the different versions of Asuka.
